WEDXESDAT-
Teev liave excellent cro in Iowa
this year, and the I vmocratic cahuuity
dodge is played oct.
Yoi can hear the corn grow and the
potatoes in the hi'.l calling each other to
lay over, Good Republican tariff wetth
er, this.
It is worth observing that the party
lustily shouting for free trade and free
coinage is most obstinately opposed to a
free ballot
If the McKinley tarin" hill is so oppres
6ive to the poor, why are the trillions of
toilers in Kurope flocking to our shores?
Are they hunting for protection or free
trade?
Since the 1st cay of March, cntil
and including the Si'th day of June, l'l,
the peblic debt has been decreased
$233."77,l'',.iX). A pretty pood showing,
we take it, for this Administration.
Or Democratic brethren are not tuuth
encouraged by the lock of the present
harvest. They know from rast exptri
ence that good crops and general pros
perity make a short crop of Democratic
votes.
.ekaT' n Pekfck want cheap but good
money. Cheap things may be good for
the amount of money they cost, but w hat
is (heap is rarely g.iod. American labor
is not cheap LiUr, but hi-h priced, and
therefore the bet in the world.
Tiieee is only a little upward of $-",-ft,0J
of clean cash in the United States
Treasury, and yet hundreds of Demo
cratic editors with not enough spare
money to l ay bait for a fishing spree are
shouting "bankrupt Treasury" at the top
of their voircs.
Pt-Risc; the Cleveland Administration
1'ncie Sam bought for the army Enp!Lh
niade blanket;?, paying from i) to i )2
for them. This year he buys the weight
and style, and the e-pnl in all resi-ett.?,
all wol and made at heme, for ju-t three
dollars and thirty cents.
Is Boston instead of imprisoning the
men who sell intoxicants, they have a
law, which went into etfect on the first
of this month, to in) prion all drunkards.
The count-e will watch with cariosity
the result of this new method of produc
ing temjierant reform.
While the Democrat are howling
about the billion dollar Congress and
increase of the public debt, they never
mention the fact that in twenty-one
months of the llarriton adiaini-tration
it ha.- applied $24V",,0"" to the redemp
tion of bonds, and has tints elfected a
aaving of f3100,iij0 in interest.
The statement of I'nited States Treas
urer Foster issued on tLe 1st inst. shows
that on that day the net cash balance in
the Treasury was $"-".$'..:,?'. S3, and yet
the Democratic Ananniases ket-p shout
ing that the Treasury is. bankrupt, hoping
thereby to bring on a panie and ruin the
business of the whole country, merely
for partisan purposes.
Ki Democratic friends are in fcu-re
glee over the so-c&lied revolt of the
Philadelphia Independents against Quay
ism. Without entering into the merits
or demerits of the ""revolt," it strikes us
that these Philadelphia gentlemen "roar
too loudly in the index." Hunting with
a brass band is not the surest way of
capturing the 'varmint." There is an
old adage that forewarned is fure-
anued."
The monthly Treasury statement clears
way the misstatements with which the
country has been flooded by partisan
papers for partisan reasons during the
past two weeks. Two great facts stand
out in bold relief as a complete answer to
the assertions that the Treasury has no
cash on band and that the nation is.
virtually ban krupt The surplus in the
Treasury is f 15.1,vcj,S'K The total cash
in the Treasury is ?74",:H'.,751.i.0.. The
Treasury Las ample money for current
needs, and ample money for future con
tingencies. There is no bankropu-y in
these figures and conditions.
Mrs. Maey Ellen- Lea-e, Ligh priest
ess of the Farmers' Alliance in Kansas,
declares that Kansas Republicans have
tried to poison her. She also charges
that the murder of Col. Sam Wood, of
Ilugoton, last week, was the work of a
Republican ring. And yet Mary Ellen
is not a bit crazier than her male col
leagues who are demanding ub-treas-nrie
for tle storage of tlwir products in
every township, government loans at two
per cent, secured by mortgages on their
farms, and abundant -'cheap money."
JVimi two years aro the Democrats held
op tbeir hands in hotror and grew black
in the face in their eaer effjrts to excite
the people over "the crime of the enor
mous surplus in the Treasury," 'usury
from theit toil." N'ow that the surplus
has been used for the payment of honest
debt and to stop interest, and is in the
pockets of the people, these same IVmo
crats are going about mourning over a
"bankrupt treasury" and a dissipated
surplus. Well! well! Perhaps some
day these disconsolate fellows will recog
niae the truth of the old adage that "you
can't eat your cake and still have it."
Ei-Vjce President H annibal IIamlix
died a bis home in Bangor, Maine, on
Saturday evening last Mr. Hamlin has
been prominent in politics for more than
an ordinary lifetime, bis public services
embracing a period of over sixty-one
years, lie entered political life as
lemocrat, and continued to act w ith that
organization nntil the birth of th.s Ile
poblican party. He served in the Legis
lature of bis native State, as a represen
tative in Congress, and as Governor, and
in IsOO was nominated by the Republi
cans as a candidate for Vice President
&nd was elected on the ticket with Abra
ham Lincoln. On Mr.Lincoln's second
nomination Andrew Johnson was aub
etitaded for Mr. Hamlin on the ticket,
with the idea that his nomination would
conciliate the anion sentiment in the
South. Mr. Hamlin, we believe, never
held public otlice after that date, but he
always continued to actively co-operate
with the Republican party up till the
time of his death. In bis long political
career so scandal ever attached to his
canoe, And his sturdy honesty and parity
of character was proverbial. It seems
appropriate that the life of this venerable
patriot should have gone out on the
anniversary of the independence of the
country which he loved and served so
ntJ&tloq.f III -gonrabisl.'s?.
Uncle JEnsr Eik hasn't got ft good
grip on the neither yet, judging from
the fact that overcoats and fires were in
demand hereabouts on the evening of
the Fcarth and the succeeding day.
There is More Money.
A leading cry of the third party agitators,
echoed by the Democratic leader, is that
the country wants, needs and must hare
-more money." The argument is that there
U not enough circulating medium properly
lo transact the growing business of this
; (rn.wint; nation. J urn may oe wrar irum
in that assertion, if it is true it -Lows a
gratifying and healthy commercial growth.
I! at when this cry for more money" is u.-ed
a a partisan appeal it lacks force in the aoe
of facu. There is more money. The vol
ume of currency in this month of Jane U
$73.e ,' greater than it was in June, l',
l'.'7,' .'") greater than is was in IsSH,
$136.'..C0u greater than in ISSs. Going
back ten years, to the volume was then
jmi (i less than now. The arculatia;
medium of the country has been conserva
tively increased, and the policy of this ad
ministration has been to conservatively in
crease it, keeping soundiiefc- always in view.
Question to be Put.
The Republicans in Ohio and in Iowa
6hould never miss an opportunity of de
manding from Iemocratic speakers an
answer to these tjueslions :
Where are those "higher prices on account
of the lar.:f which your party predicted so
constantly during the campaign of ?
Where is that increase of agricultural dis
tress that your party predicted ?
What do you think of reciprocity, any
how ?
If every one of the predictions made by
your party in ls: has proven false, haven't
you a good deal of nerve when you ask us
to pin our faith to a new set of predictions
male by it ?
Why is it that all your newspapers and
all jour speakers are brimful of joy when
ever there is a irosjt of high prices, low
wairts. -hcrt croj1, ar any other disa-ter?
Why is it that your party never rejoices
wh. n the people are prosperous?
Why Is it that your party never encour
ages a bme industry ?
Why is it that your party -ides with alien
priests against the -chool system in Wiscon
sin, sides with former tlave holders against
a free ballot in the South, everywhere sides
with the worst side of the saloon interest
a.:nst all restrictions upon the sale of in
toxicants? These questions will afford great comfurt
to the in'errOjTators and occasion much per
plexity to the interrogated.
The Farmer are Happy.
j From the Inter Ottaii.
j It is long sin. the farmer-of the I'nited
! Slates had a more pleasant prospect open
j ing to their eyes, and protection is the niari
! cian that has spread the enchanting scene.
! senator Paddock bay-: "AH the world is
wanting to buy grain, and we are the only
people that have it to sell."
Has protection created this condition?
j Lit us see. Of course, the large harvest that
j seems imminent might have come to pass
I un.ier a fre-tra:ie administration as well as
under a protective policy; but a large crop
j without a large market fjr it is but a minor
blessing. Let us consider the effect of pro
tection upon markets.
1. It ha- created a home market which
consumes about nine-tenths of all home
farm products.
2. l!y its adaption in the German Empire
it has caused that county, which exported
gra;n while it was under free trade, to I
coaie an importer of grain now that protec
tion has multiplied its factories and drawn
labor from its farms. Thus there now is a
larger demand for American grain in Eng
land in exact proportion to the amount
of grain which Germany now consumes at
home instead of selling in Liverpool. There
also i-a new market in Germany of Amer
ican grain: this, however, curtailed by the
protective duiy whK h the empire levies on
crain. iut the drataad for repeal of the
duty on grain and meat is growing hot in
j Germany, and the I'nited States, by reason
I of the reciprocity clau of the McKoiley
j bill, is able to offer to the empire a solution
' of its grain and food question which will
i not involve departure from its fixed, and
I hitherto succesful, policy of protection.
The I'nited States is in a iosition to ofkr a
i continuance of free importation of German
beet sugar in return for free, or low dutied,
' admission of American grain and meat to
' the empire.
i Nothing can be plainer than that if this
j country had a free-trade policy it would
! have nothing to fT.-r to Germany as com
j pensation for the empire's reeal or modifi
cation oi its gram ana meat tanns. i roiec
tion in Germany Las created a demand for
American grain. Protection in America
has armed tbe Republic with a weapon
which may o;n a free, or at any rate, an
easy pa-sage for American grain to Ger
many. 3. Protection, by ita reciprocity clause,
has opened Brazil to a free importation of
American fcirai products. It has made an
enlarged exjortation of American farm pro
ducts to Cuba a certainty.
Nature is helping the American principle
of protection to bless the farmers of the Re
public, for close on the heels of the news of
a demand for American grain in Germany
comes news of the probability of a short crop
of Iadian wlicat. Ail the world wants grain,
and America has lots of it to sell. The
farmers are happy, and they have to thank
protection for a large share of their happi-ne-s.
Iowa Republicans.
One of the most enthu-ia-tic Republican
conventions ever assembled in the State of
Iowa convened cn Wednesday of li't week.
It i- felt by both political parties that this
campaign is to be a decisive one and its effect
on national politics is fully appreciated by
every politician of the Hawkeye State. The
Republican party is thoroughly united, for
the first time in many years.
The noaiinatioa of Hiram C. Wheeler for
Governor wan assured in advance, and upon
the platform there waa suUtantially a reit
eration of the party principle of two years
ago. The threatened break over the finan
cial question never came, and it 1 likely the
free-coinaje question will be almost loot
in the othtr stirring issues that are to agi
tute l iwa politics for the next ensuing four
month-.
The platform as fiunlly alopted indorses
the McKinlfy tariff law in the warmest
terms, and particularly commends the reci
procity provisions and its interpretation
and observation by President Harrison and
Secretary of State Blaine. Liberal pensions
to disabled soldiers and tbeir widows are ur
ged. The Harrison administration is en
dorsed, and the large appropriations of the
last Congress are defended a having been
nece-ary for the fulfillment of the obliga
tions, welfare and development of the coun
try. TL- prohibition pluck of the platform
of last year is re-affirmed, and the Demo,
cratic party and the Democratic local officials
are arraigned for conspiring with the law
breaking element for the violation and non
observance of the prohibitory law.
For Governor the name of Hiram C.
Wheeler, of OJebolt, Sac county, was propos
ed, and he m as nominated on the first bal
lot, amid great enthusiasm.

HANNIBAL HAMLIN DEAD.
The Ex-Vic President Expires
Suddenly In a Club-room.
Basoob, Ue., July E-Yice President
Hannibal Hamlin died to-night at
o'clock. He wasdewn-town this afternoon
and went to tbe Tarratine Club rooms,
where he was playing a game of pedro when
his head fell forward on his chest. A gen
tleman remarked i "The 6enator seems to
feel badly.' Mr. Hamiin Said: "I do."
The men gathered around him, and he was
tak.-n to a lounge. Dr. Robinson, who was
in tbe next room, attended Lion, and after
ward Dr. Ma-on and Ir. Philip were ca!!d.
No pulse was visible for an hour, and it
wa.- thought they could not bring him out.
Finally he revived somewhat and managed
to articulate feebly. The doctors worked
over bim faithfully, and his family were
sent for. Soon Mrs. Hamlin, General
Charles Hamlin, bis son, and his wife and
other members were at his side. All "was
done for him in ha man power, but be pass
ed away peacefully at 8 15 P. M.
Ia 1M- he was elected to Congress, and
re-elected two years later. In IslS be was
chosen to fill a vacancy in tbe United States
Senate, and in laol was elected for a full
term of six years.
In l'i Mr. Hamlin broke away from tbe
Democratic party, and was elected by the
Republicans as Governor of Maine, but be
resigned that oSce upon being returned to
the United S tates Senate by the Republicans.
Tbe Republican National Convention of 1S0
which nominated Abraham Lincoln for Pres
ident put Hannibal Hamlin on the ticket for
Vii President, and the ticket proved victo
rious. I' BOPPED rKOX THE TICK IT.
When the Republicans assembled four
years later, in W4, to again name a Presi
dential ticket. Mr. Hamlin was scarcely
mentioned as Mr. Lincoln's associate on the
ticket for a second race. The choice fell
upon Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, who
became President upon Mr. Lincoln's as
sasai nation by Booth.
BI WOKE XO OVEKCOAT.
Mr. Hamlin, in 1;, was made Collector
of the port of Bton, but soon resigned,
and in l"7 ws- again returned to the Senate
for a full term which expired on March 4,
i-:.
Since that day Mr. Hamlin has occupied
little space in the public eye, and was chief
ly remembered as a man who had run on a
ticket with Abraham Lincoln, but being
most noted as an old man, who, although
he had changed his political " coat, " persis
ted in wearing on all occasions a black swallow-tail
coat and as stubbornly refused, on
any occasion, to wear an overcoat.
Killed by a Panther.
Minx, Tess., July 2. The news of the
horrible death of Miss Millie McCoy has
been received here. Miss McCoy and two
girl friends, Mary Ely and Myra Johns, this
morning left home on a blackberry bunt.
They proceeded to the woods about six
miles away. In a lonely place near Obion
river Miss McCoy wandered off from the
others some hundred yards to a place where
tbe fruit grew in profusion. Suddenly a
wild scream, bloodcurdling in its keenness,
rang out. The girls were terrified beyond
measure, not knowing what kind of a wild
animal was in the vicinity. Again the ter
rifying shriek sounded and the two girls to
gether sank down behind some bushes.
Miss McCoy started toward them at a rapid
walk, when a panther appeared directly be
hind her. The frightened gill screamed and
started to run, but she could not escape.
The beast seized her and she was torn to pie
ces. In many places the Mesh was literally
stripped from tbe bones.
The other girls, seeing the animal attack
their friend, ran screaming from the scene,
never stopping until they reached home,
when a party of men organized and with
shotguns hurriedly went to the scene of the
attack. Tbe panther was still at tbe body
and was shot by the hunters. The beast
measured seven feet seven inches from tip
to tip. It bad escaped from a circus.
A Severe Storm In Texas.
Galvestos, Tex , July .". This city has
been vikited by one of the most terrific
storms known in years. The tempest is
still raging, and at this writing it is impossi
ble to estimate the damage to sbippii.g and
other property along the coast.
The waters from the gulf are in the streets,
and many warehouses and buildings in the
docks are flooded. The telegraph wires are
prostrated, practically cutting oit all com
munication with outside points. Efforts are
being made to obtain full details of tha ex
tent and effects of the storm.
It i- reported at :t o'clock this morning
that a four-masted schooner was sighted off
the beach at Howell with signals of distress
flying, and that the life-saving crew had
gone to her rescue and saved four of her
crew and were attempting to save the other-.
The storm has knocked the electric light
works out and to-night the city is wrapped
in darkness with the wind whistling and
the rain failing in torrents.
The Next Rainfall.
Cantos, O.. July 5. Frank Melbourne,
the rain king, is being overwhelmned with
nx;il. The burden of the inquiries are for
information in regard to the construction
and operation of his rain machine. Many
scientific men are making inquiries, and ev.
ery section of tbe country seems to be inter
ested. To all Mr. Melbourne is alike courteous
and re-erred. He has not yet second let
ters patent on his invention, and, until be
does so, will make no explanations. Propo
sitions have been made bim from various
quarters, and the hitter part of tbe month
will probaMy be spent in the west making
experiments. His next interference with
the weather is announced for July 11, tbe
date having oeen set by newspaper men,
when he will cause a heavy rainfall.
Fell Into the Crater.
Rome, July 2. Vesuvius has renewed its
volcanic activity, and the torrent of lava
rushing down the mountain side is rapidly
increa-ing in vola-ne. Yesterday two I!ra
ziilian tourists ascended the mountain and
had j'tst reached its summit and were stand
ing on the verge of the crater when they
were suddenly enveloped in a dense cloud
of smoke, which rushed out upon them
from the volcanic depths.
When the outburst had subsided it was
found that one of tbe gutitiemen bad become
asphyxiated and had fallen into the mouth
of the crater. His companion was only
saved by the presence of mind of tbe guide
who had accompanied them. As tbe sul
phurous smoke puffed out from tbe crater's
mouth be rushed forward and dragged one
of his patrons out of danger, but was Doa

ABSOLUTE PURE
Ex-Treasurer Bardsley Severely
Punished.
Philadelphia, July 2. John Tards!ey,
ex-City Treasurer of Philadelphia, was
brought into court this morning, before
Judge Wilson, to have sentence pas-ed on
bim for the confessed crime of loc.ning, spec
ulating with and receiving interest on pub
lic funds entrusted to his care as the chief,
fiduciary of the municipality.
As on the previous occasion- that Bard
sley has faced the Court, when he was
brought in this morning he was not placed
in the dock, but was allowed to sit beside
his counsel in the space reserved for mem
bers of the bar.
The fact that Rardsley would come up for
sentence to-day was not generally known, so
that when District Attorney Graham rose to
address the court, and asked that sentence;
be passed on the prisoner, there were not
mere than ' people in the court room.
The District Attorney spoke but briet'y,
but in the course of his address he denied
Bardiey s contention, made in his statement
to the court a week ah-o, thai the ex-Treasurer
had not misappropriated a dollar. Mr.
Graham showed that by Rardsley 's own
statement be must have at least misappro
priated the sum of as that amoun
wss required to be made good by bis sureties
according to tbeir bond to tbe t-iaieand city.
Mr. ( rali am practically admitted that Bards
ley's declaration that be p'.ace J i.lj.uiirt
tbe Keystone l'.ank, taking due biiis for the
money, was true, and that the money was
deposited jn tbe bank. A!ilioub-!. n4 able
as yet to stieeilicaUy sbow where the money
bas rone. Mr. Crahara said that ItanL-ley's
embezzlements would amount to between
4-lo",'iOand $.XvJ.
Mr. Alexander, counsel for Bardsley, re
viewed tbe statements made by bis client,
and appealed to tbe court for mercy on tbe
ground of Bardsley 'a plea of guilty and bi
servioes to tbe city. Mr. Alexander said tiiat
Bardsley did not get a dollar of tbe money
be put into tbe Keystone Bank, and that
within tix months it would be shown who
did. lie vehemently declared that bis client
bad not stolen a dollar, but that be bai only
pleaded guilty to tbe statutory offenses of
loaning, speculating with and receiving in
terest on tbe public funds. Xever with bis
consent, said Mr. Alexander, should Bards
ley appear before tbe investigating cotnmitie
of Councils to testify, but if at any time tbe
District Atto.Tiey desired any information
or issistance, bis client was willing to aid
bim.
While bis coun-el wss speaking BardUy
sat with bowed heal, n.rvou-!y tracing
iniajrinary lines with the back of a pen upon
the table before bim. With the exception
of bis brother-in-law, not one of the hun
dreds of friends that Bard-icy bad aytara.ro
were present when he arose to receive the
sentence of the court. A- BurJsley got tip
Judfre Wilson motioned to bim to be seated
while be delivered the lecture and words of
admonition that a Jud-e usually prefaces
bis sentences with.
Judge Wil-on's severe words caused Bards
ley tbe most palpable distresi. When the
Judge spoke of the past friendship between
himself and the man awaiting bis sentence.
Bard-ley's band- opened and shut convcl
sively, his face flushed and paled, and his
head sank on his breast. As Judge Wilson
proceeded, and plainly said that be could
find no palliation for Bard-ley s iualfeaaan.-e,
and that bis oiTen-e was the more ojen to
censure from bis abu-e of bis otiicial posi
tion, the prisoner almost collapsed and seem
ed about to sink to the tlxir from bis chair.
Nevertheless, before Judge Wilson had con
cluded and ordered him to arise and receive
sentence, Eardsiey had completely regained
bis composure and received the words that
sends bim to prison for 15 years with a
toici.rn that was almost indirlerence in its
utter absence of any emotion.
The sentence pronounced by Jude Wii
wou vat that Bardsley undergo 1 years'
olitary confinement in the Eastern Feniten
tiary, and that be pay a fine in the sum
eiual to the amount of his embezzlement
arising from tbe transactions to which hs
Lad pleaded guilty.
Shortly after sentence had been pronounc
ed Bardsley was remanded to prison to await
removal to the Penitentiary.
15 Passengers Killed.
Cmai-erros, W. Va., July 4. A passen
ger train fliled with Fourth of Juiy excur
sionists fell through a trestle this morniug
on tbe Kanawna and Michigan Railroad,
killing fifteen persons and maiming more or
less severely twice that number. The acci
dent happened at a point eight mile? south
of this citv.
Tbe train bad left here at ! o'clock as an
accommodation, composed of a baggse-car
nd two pa-nger coaches. The train was
filled with Charleston people going to the
country to spend tbe Fourth, and on the
way gathered up a barge number of pussen
gers at tbe by stations. The two pssseuger
coaches were crowded with nearly JO occu
pants, and tbe train passed on to a trestle
forty-five feet high and over lw yards long.
At a point three miles above I'eoo Station
the engine was two-thirds of tbe way over,
when an ominocs crackling was beard.
Theengineer immediately put ail steam
on, and by a tremendous effort jerked the
eugine aud tender loose from the ill-fated
train, which a second later went through
the trestle, tbe timbers collapsing likeettaws.
A scene of indescribable horror en-.icd.
Tbe first coach, which was tbe smoker and
was occupied principally by men, fell flat on
its side, ar.d the end of tbe second coa. !i
era-bed "TLtareiy into its mi ll'.e, and here
tbe most d "tractive work wis done.
Tbe scene of the accident was three miles
from tbe nearest railroad station and in an
uninhabited section, not even a firm-house
being in sight. The few passengers who
were uninjured immediately set to work to
rescue tbe brui-M and mangled victims
while the engine ran on five miles to a tele
graph otlloe, where word of the catastrophe
was sent to this city and aid a-ked for.
Death of Jacob K. Berkeyblle.
Jacob K. Berkeyblle died at tbe residence
of his son-in-law, Joseph Slick, in Johns
town, on tbe 1st inst. Mr. Berkeybile was
born in Berlin on tbe 11th day cf August,
17?9. In the year lS2.'beand Susan Kyk
were married. She died in 1.-7!). The nnion
resulted in twelve children, two of whom
died in infancy, and one, Jane, wife of Sam
usl Getsel, of Johnstown in 1-77. The nine
surviving are J. K., of Millstall, 111. : David
L, of Johnstown, Alexander, cf Berlin,

Catharine, wife of Charles Von 1-unen. of
Johnstown, Julia A., wife ol J. C. Beam, of
Latrobe, and J. J , t.f Sand Patch, this
county.
In tbe you- 1S30 Mr. Berkeybil bought a
farm in what was then a wilderness one
mile above the present town of Hooversville
in Shade township. He resided there all
his lifetime thereafter, until about three
months ago when he went to Johnstown, to
make his home with his children.
Mr. Berkeybile was remarkably well pre
served for bis years. He enjoyed god health
all his life, only taken sick last Thursday,
his ailments being incident to those of old
age, and he slept quietly away. Only week
before last he viaiL-d bis daughter and son-in-law
in Latrobe, and be was then in his
o-oal health.
He was a member and an Elder in tbe
Christian Church for about fifty years, lead
ing an honest and honorable life, always
cheerful and happy, and not a few can bear

A MYSTERIOUS LAKE.
The Great Desert In Southern
fornla Inundated.
Call-
A special from Yuma says the Colorado
desert basin at Salton, sixty miles west of
Yuma, is rapidly filling np with fre-h water
from a subterranean passage believed to be
connected with the Colorado River caused
by the high waters of last February. At last
advices it was converted into a lake many
miles wide. The machinery is being remov
ed from the salt factories at Salton. The
Southern Pacific Railroad track passes
through the basin for more than fifty mile-,
its lowest point being Ji"? feet below the sea
level. The Colerado River is 10o liet above
the sea level at Ynma. If the subterranean
passage connects with the Colorado above
Yuma, the I-ke will be over four hundred
feet in depth and over fifty miles lonir. If
the waters continue to rise the Southern
Pacific track will be submerged for nearly
l'Xi miles, and the great desert of Colorado
will be converted into a vast lake.
Colorado IVsert, the scene of this strange
phenomenon and which is announced now
to be CiliLg with water, forming a great in
land lake, is in San Diego county, the most
sjutheru couny of California. It is tor-
I dcred lhe lurailo Iliver on tLe eastern
side, the San Bsrnardino Mountains on the
north. Lower California on the south, and
tbe fertile coast lamia on the west. Taken
all in a1.!, it m akes a district about seventy
miles wide by one hundred and forty long.
The great inland ba.-in at its lowest part is
1'T" feet below the sea level. This region
was named tLe Colorado lH-ert because of
its barren, sundy, alkaline soil and scanty
vegetation. In some places the soil is com
posed of sand. pa. ked together firmly, w::h
a bard, smooth surface which reflects lij,'ht
like a mirror; in other places are mountains
of loose sand, which are continually shift-
ini. ima rriuuui .a.uornia ia 01 nxeui
formation, and is sterile and forbidding to
tbe last degree. It has tunny dry lakes and
creek beds. These lakes, or gulfs, often
very deep, are always salt and bitter, and
often without water most of the year, but
tbe beds of tbe lakes are covered with alka
line deposits.
Lixe the famous Death Vaiiey, there are
some who tbiuk the Colorado IVsert of vol
canic origin. It is more likely, however, to
have come from tbe recession of the waters.
of recent
However this great bole may have first been
scooped out, there lire unmistakable si-ns of
former marine life, sheUs and uthcr things
extending up to the Sin dortiuio I'ass, in
the San Erruardino Mountains, the gate
way from the desert to the orange groves ol
Southern California. The commonly ac
cepted opinion is that the (Juif ol California
once reached several hundred miles farther
north than it now does, and that the Colo
rado Iliver in long ages deposited so much
alluvium as to make banks down to the
present heal of the t.ulf, thus cutting ofl
from its connection a jtrt of the great basin
until recently so dry and s'erile. The evap
oration in this desert far exceeds the fall of
rain ; so it was not long before this iake
which was left behind was dried up.
Mr. Joseph F. James, who spent four
weeks at tbe Lead of a surveying party which
traveled over tha desolate region -orue
years ago, on his return gave this graphic
and blood-boiling account of Lis heated aud
cheerless experience :
" Neither tbe desert of Gobi, in Asia, nor
the Great Sahara, in Afria, can be worse in
respect 'ul heat than its small relative, the
Colorado I'tsert in California.
..... , . , .el
o industry can thrive hers except in j
places where there are depots cf salt. Near
Salton this product is found in almost its J
natural state, and large siilt works are loca
ted there, which, it is now retorted, are ra
ined by the sudden and my-ierious flood.
There is, of course, no chauc- ia thi- great
region for agriculture, and no great part of it
was ever successfully irrigated. Such a pro
ject was early contemp'a'.cd, being sug,-est
ed by its remarkable situation below the lev
el of the sea, with a great tiTer to the west,
a great gulf to the south, and a stream called
" New Iliver,"' which during the wet season
is filled from the seepage of the Colorado, to
flow out into and across the sand toward
the mountains. It waa this river on the
desert the Sou bem contingent of tbe pio
neer gold hunters came to in the early sum
mer of l.4:i, wLen they w re trudging ori
towards the FJ Dorado. It was to them, jay
tbe chroniclers of that sutTering time, as if
another Moses had smitten the earth and
caused the waters to g;ish forth.
The overflowing of Colorado Desert con
tinues and there is now a prospett that tbo
impouringof water will not cea.- until the
entire desert is covered. Already a vast in
land lake has been formed, and its area is
being momentarily increased.
Aleady the circumference of this inland
sea, which Kttuir.giy arose from the bowel
of the earth, measures one hundred and four
miles. Tims far no serious damage hs
attended its g-owth, but unless its limits are
soon reached considerable damage is sure
to result particularly to the property cf
the Southern I'acific Bailroad Companv.
Ytm, Aria.. July 3. All the flat part cf
the famous Dtatb Valley, in California, is
now covered with water, ar.d the depth of
the novel de-rt lake may be expected to in
crease much more rapidly. The water is
stiil rising, lut a curious menomtnon w is
pre nted yUr.Liy by the water receding
in the morsing and coming bjck in the !
afternoon in oicrea-ed voiunie. If the water '
conies from the Colorado river there mu-t j
be er.cuh of it between Salton and the river i
to nearly tl S the basin, and most likely !
reach to tb main line of the Southern
Pacific.
Two ou'.fia were started by Superinttt.
dent Muir, f the Southern Pacific, yester
day, one fr.vn Salton and the other from
Ogilby. Bth parties started ia wagons
with a stippy of water and provisions, and
they will cuke an effort to locate the esi l
spot where the water comes; through the
Sand Hills Irom the Colorado River or New
River, as tbe case may be. The boat sent
out by he -ailroad company was forced to
return, tbe force of tbe current making
further heaiway impossible.
Careful investigation proves that tbe bar
rier between the Colorado and the rim of
tbe desert is only a ridge of four feet Tbe
river bas ben falling for over a week past,
and is lower to-day than the same day last
vear.
Married at Wlnsdor.
Losio.v,;uly G. Crowds of people from
London ant all parts of the country flocked
into Windsar Castle this morning determin
ed to see as much as possible of the event of
the day tu? marriage of the Princes Louise
ofScbleswir-HoUtein to Prince Aribert of
Anbalt-Deiaiu Windsor was bedecked from
cellcr to garret with flowers and flags, and
everybody eemed happy. The wedding
ceremony was performed in 8t. George a
Chapel, in the presence of the Queen, the
Kaiser, tbe Kaiserin, the Prince and Princes
of Wales am a host of other royal celebrities.
